Kenwood UBZ-LH14 2-Way Radio (Yellow)

Summary: Works great, but low on accessories.
Review: We have used these little talkies more than we ever expected to. Even in our house! We've been on several vacations where these buggers saved the trip. They are especially convenient when you want to take two cars and need to meet someplace.

But all of that could be said of other top brand radios I suppose. I like these because the antennae flip down for when you stuff 'em in your pack and they look cool. They are durable; we've had no problems with ours. They come with a detachable belt clip which is useful and solid. They are, as I understand it, compatible with Motorolla brand radios too, so you can mingle with friends on the slopes etc. Clear sound. Multiple, multiple frequencies that are simple to choose from.

A general downside to all these radios is that they say 2-mile but are 1-mile range if you are lucky. So allign your expectations.

Also, I think it may be hard to find accessories for the Kenwood brand (I haven't ever found any), like re-charger stations, etc. They do go through batteries pretty fast so some sort of rechargeable batteries are recommended... You might want to look into it.

Review: We use 10 of these units for communications for swim meets between the starter, judges, bull pen and computer operations. We are very pleased with the performance and also like the "scramble" feature since we are using in a foreign country.
